Abstract

Pilar cysts are also called as Trichilemmal cysts, it commonly found on the scalp. We report a case of 43years old lady with painless swellings over occipital region in scalp since 3months, diagnosed as Pilar cyst. X-ray and CT-Head reports too revealed as Pilar cyst, which was having recurrence history for 3 times and excision had been done twice within 2 years complete excision of content is standard protocol. This type of cysts are notoriously known for their recurrence and proper excision of the cyst with accuracy and following proper methodology will play a chief role in preventing the recurrence of the cyst. In Ayurveda, there is excerpts regarding Kaphaja Granthi and the clinical presentation told under this context almost matches Pilar cyst and Chedana karma has been told even by Acharyas for the management of Kaphaja Granthi. Hence we have classically adopted Chedana karma as told by Acharyas and we have got promising results in this single case study.
